Josh Teigen

BISMARCK, N.D. – Business leader and current Lt. Governor Tammy Miller officially filed her candidacy for governor and announced Josh Teigen as her running mate.

“Josh is an experienced business leader and he understands economic growth and diversification,” Tammy Miller said. “The Miller-Teigen administration will grow our economy, eliminate the state individual income tax, cut red tape that holds back small businesses, and fill our jobs by attracting workforce to North Dakota. Working alongside Josh as Lt Governor, we can take our state to the next level and help every North Dakotan reach their full potential!”

Like Tammy Miller, Teigen brings a business perspective to government. Prior to serving as the Commerce Commissioner in the Burgum administration, Josh had an extensive career in the private sector. He spent almost 8 years at Mind Shift and also served as president and chief financial officer of Protosthetics, a medical device company.

“Tammy is a world-class business leader,” Teigen said. “As a CEO and CPA she makes every dollar count and knows how to treat taxpayers like the customers they are. I’m thrilled to join her campaign and take North Dakota to the next level.”

Josh grew up in North Dakota and earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Dakota. He and his wife, Jenine, are the proud parents of one child with their second on the way.
